For those genealogists who consider the history of "America's Emigrants" as
interesting as family pedigree I would like to suggest Wilhelm Moberg's book
ONTO A NEW LAND. It is the 2nd of a series of four books which chronicle the
lives of a group of Swedish immigrants, starting with their troubles in
Sweden to their successful building of farms and homes in Minnesota. I am
now reading the 3rd book THE SETTLERS. IT is the 2nd book however which
really captures the trials of the immigrant. What amazing people they were.
Your public library can get you these books if they do not have them.
